[PATCH V3] drm/amdgpu: limit DMA size to PAGE_SIZE for scatter-gather buffers

Code is expecing to observe the same number of buffers returned from
dma_map_sg() function compared to sg_alloc_table_from_pages(). This
doesn't hold true universally especially for systems with IOMMU.

The hardware actually needs the dma_address on a page by page basis.
Joining multiple consecutive pages into one entry is just additional
overhead which we don't need.
